    I'd empty his locker into a brown paper bag and leave it sitting on the doorstep.

    I've made this point before but you really only need one house. You should play football for the right reasons and that is achieving success with your teammates and the money will look after itself. That's the point Carlton is missing at the moment with constantly recruiting players who are the cherry on top. Where's the cake?
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    Having seen from the inside of what goes into the food at those places, there is a reason that the parmas are so cheap. I would not eat in those establishments if you paid me!

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    Re: Essendon

    Dodo just keeps delivering.

    "Essendon list manager Adrian Dodoro, who has been with the Bombers for 22 years, said losing Houli was "one of the bigger disappointments in my career" when he exited the club."

    So naturally makes amends by circling back for Houli when he's an unrestricted free agent who'll turn 33 next season.

    Owning league rivals yet again by swooping in on trade targets with multi-year deals when they cost the Bombres ... nothing. Genius.

    "AFEL.com.au also understands Dodoro has quietly reached out to past players Tayte Pears, Jay Neagle and Scott Gumbleton among others to gauge their plans for 2021 with a view to uniting former alumni under the proposed club slogan 'Getting the band back together'. More as it comes to hand."

    Surely the Houli talk is a desperate attempt to keep Saad from leaving. Surely.

    I can say with near 100% certainty that Tayte Pears won't be changing jobs.

    But I can't tell which part of your post is satire, because it's Dodo after all.

    Jack Martin had one question when Carlton interviewed him - "Is Eddie coming?"
    For Martin at least the lure of playing with Betts was the primary reason.

    Tom Fitzmaurice probably deserves to go home to Windy Hill too. It's been 95 years since he went to North.

    Saad now offered 5 years plus the money he wants. That is a big risk
